  • Title: Effect of erythropoietic stimulation of the chamber host on the growth of haemopoietic colonies in plasma clot diffusion chambers (PCDC).
    Author: Pojda Z, Wiktor-Jedrzejczak W.
    Journal: Cell Tissue Kinet; 1985 Jul; 18(4):347-53. PubMed ID: 4005931.
    Abstract:
    Murine marrow cells were cultured in Millipore diffusion chambers implanted into the peritoneal cavity of variously conditioned murine hosts. Preirradiation (350 cGy), bleeding (0.5 ml) and phenylhydrazine injection (75 mg/kg i.v.) when performed together on the chamber host, induced better growth of erythropoietic and granulopoietic colonies inside the PCDCs than either of these manoeuvres alone. Small erythrocytic colonies (CFU-E derived) and small granulocytic colonies were observed at day 3 of marrow culture. Erythropoietic bursts and large granulocytic colonies were observed at day 8 of chamber culture. Colonies of macrophage-like cells, fibroblast-like cells, mixed erythro-granulopoietic colonies and megakaryoblasts were observed less regularly in chambers incubated in these conditions. The study provides a standardized, relatively reproducible PCDC culture system for studies of both erythro- and granulopoiesis, and does not require a hypoxic chamber.
